In the last decades, different running debates seem to be developing into a so-called « ontological turn » in Anthropology and other Social Sciences. This paper examines human and non-human relations in the Moroccan Rif, recent work using the concept of « ontography », and new approaches to « ethnographic writing ». It mainly focuses on British anthropologist Martin Holbraad, French anthropologist Albert Piette, and North American´s philosopher Graham Harman´s different understandings of « ontography ». As part of a broader movement of shifting interests into ontological research, ontographic approaches might be openly challenging current praxis of ethnographic writing. In the spirit of the phrase « taking seriously » by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, and through a reflection on both my ethnographic descriptions of human relations with the “spirits” called jnûn in the Moroccan Rif and my ethnographic experiences in the field, I will try to share some possible answers to the question: How can the others be taken seriously through anthropological texts?
